Oregon Officer Stops Bike Robbery Outside of Police Station

A man was reportedly attempting to steal a bicycle outside an Oregon police department when an officer inside emerged and confronted the man.

The man was reportedly carrying a pair of bolt cutters and was about to try to work on the lock when the officer with the Gladstone Police Department intervened.

The incident was caught on surveillance camera video, which the department posted to its Facebook page, saying, "Suspect arrested for attempting to steal a bike...From the PD!!!! SGT Okerman arrested the suspect after confronting him with a Taser. Video of the encounter below."

Trooper Nic Cederberg with the Oregon State Police was awarded a National Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor on Wednesday during a White House ceremony hosted by President Donald Trump. The award is the highest national award for valor a public safety officer can receive.

The Torrington (CT) Police Department said on Facebook that a man wanted on warrants for failing to appear in court on charges that range from breach of peace to risk of injury to a child has made a deal with the agency if his wanted poster on Facebook gets 15,000 "likes."
